Each product was exposed to the same threats, which were a mixture of targeted attacks using well-established techniques and public email and web-based threats that were found to be live on the internet at the time of the test.

  • PC Pitstop Supershield 2.0
    Anti -Virus Comparative PC Matic PC Pitstop SuperShield 2.0 Language: English February 2017 Last Revision: 30 th March 2017 www.av-comparatives.org Commissioned by PC Matic - 1 - PC Pitstop – February 2017 www.av-comparatives.org Introduction This report has been commissioned by PC Matic. We found PC Matic PC Pitstop very easy to install. The wizard allows the user to change the location of the installation folder and the placing of shortcuts, but the average user only needs to click Next a few times. The program can be started as soon the setup wizard completes. A Different Approach PC Matic approaches security differently than traditional security products. PC Matic relies mainly on a white list to defeat malware; this can lead to a higher number of false alarms if users have files which are not yet on PC Matic’s whitelist. Unknown files are uploaded to PC Matic servers, where they get compared against a black- and white list (signed and unsigned). By default, PC Matic SuperShield only blocks threats and unknown files on-execution, but does not remove/quarantine them. Additional features In addition to malware protection, PC Matic also provides system maintenance and optimization features. These include checking for driver updates, outdated programs with vulnerabilities, erroneous registry entries and disk fragmentation. A single scan can be run which checks not only for malware, but also for any available system optimization opportunities. Commissioned by PC Matic - 2 - PC Pitstop – February 2017 www.av-comparatives.org Tested products The tested products have been chosen by PC Matic. We used the latest available product versions and updates available at time of testing (February 2017).

  • Webroot Secureanywhere® Business Endpoint Protection the Security Industry Had a BIG IDEA About How to Address Today’S Increasing Threats
    Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business Endpoint Protection The security industry had a BIG IDEA about how to address today’s increasing threats. Push down gargantuan loads of signatures to ever fatter software clients. Face it, your current endpoint security software is slow, heavy, and you wonder if it causes more problems than it solves. Meanwhile you have to keep up with a number of new challenges – from a more mobile workforce to more dangerous malware. Has this broken model pushed you to the breaking point? Do long scan times, massive downloads, and slow performance make your users less productive ? Do constant updates, patches, and reimaging requests distract you and your staff from addressing true business needs ? Does mammoth security software consume too many resources on your users’ computers – and does managing it require a dedicated server ? Are you concerned that you don’t have enough control when endpoint devices leave the office ? “Over 450,000 new “67% of attacks carried “No organization is immune malicious software programs out are for criminal to the problem of security are registered each day.” purposes.” risks, regardless of size.“ AV-Test, The Independent IT – Security Institute Hackmageddon.com Canalys Research Fixing security requires a new, Smarter approach. It’s called forget the old approach. Seeing traditional security software become too big and too much “Downloaded, copied to target, set up, installed, of a burden on endpoint devices, networks, and IT staff, Webroot “running, baselined, and fully scanned in 5 minutes? I’d decided to start fresh. We built a new kind of security software that love to see anyone else come close.” Sean Kethcart, IT Systems Support Analyst, Haymarket Center completely does away with old-school approaches like signature downloads, the need for constant updates, and big-footprint client “This is by far the fastest, easiest malware solution I software.

  • Fileless Malware Protection Test
    FILELESS MALWARE PROTECTION TEST OCTOBER 2017 Fileless Malware Protection Test. October 2017. 1 / 12 INTRODUCTION In times of digitalization of each aspect of public and private life new and interesting techniques of bypassing protections are abundant. Although for a few years the main threat among the malicious software has still been the techniques based on asymmetric cryptography, we cannot complain about the lack of methods of deceiving the protection products whose level of preparation and complicated escalation cycle exceed the viruses from the ransomware family. The threats examined in this report are so-called fileless malware. Although the infection vector usually starts traditionally, i.e. from the delivery of a malicious file to the victim’s computer – via scam or a drive-by download attack as a result of using an exploit – this is where the similarities to traditional attacks with files end. The fileless malicious software operates directly in the computer’s internal memory. In this scenario, the activated virus will not be transferred to quarantine by the protecting software as it is not a file, but a set of instructions to be executed, operating on system processes. The authors of malicious code, who often are experts in their field, can use this in order not to leave any traces on the hard drive and to make detection by the antivirus software difficult. The fileless threats have a few features in common with rootkits: they can store data in the register which is the base for the settings of internal memory and some applications, and even intercept and modify some low-level API functions.

  • Security Survey 2021
    Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software IT Security Survey 2021 LANGUAGE : ENGLISH LAST REVISION : 8TH FEBRUARY 2021 WWW.AV-COMPARATIVES.ORG IT Security Survey 2021 www.av-comparatives.org Security Survey 2021 We have conducted our annual survey, which helps us to improve our service to the end-user community. Respondents were asked for their opinions on various topics related to anti-virus software testing and anti-virus software in general. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete the survey. Key data Survey Period: 11 th December 2020 – 30 th December 2020 Valid responses of real users: 2,111 The survey ran for about two weeks. It contained various control questions and checks, which helped us to identify and remove invalid responses. Whilst there was a raffle conducted this year, with a gift box as a prize, this only became clear once a participant had completed the survey. This was done to avoid people submitting meaningless answers simply to try to win a prize. The survey results are invaluable to us. This report contains the results of the survey questions. Overview In 2020, restrictions on personal movement to counteract the spread of COVID-19 led to unprecedented use of the Internet. Millions of people worked from home rather than in an office, and millions more arranged virtual social meetings using platforms like Skype and Zoom. Whilst tablets and smartphones remained as popular as before, ZDNet 1 reported a 28.3% rise in laptop sales relative to the previous year. This makes security software for desktop operating systems more important than ever, as cybercriminals attempt to exploit the new situation.
